First published in 1667, Paradise Lost is an epic poem by John Milton that tells the story of the fall of Adam and Eve and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden. The poem follows Adam and Eve as they are tempted by Satan and ultimately give in to his temptation, eating the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge. This act leads to their banishment from the Garden and their separation from God.The poem is divided into twelve books, each of which tells a different part of the story. The first four books focus on the fall itself, while the remaining eight books tell the story of Adam and Eve’s life outside of the Garden. Paradise Lost is considered one of the greatest epic poems ever written, and its influence can be seen in many subsequent works of literature.
